Healers need an overhaul

[Raven2014]

Or maybe people :
- don't only do group content?

I don't think I ever said anything about people doing outside of group content. But if they join a group as a healer, I would expect them to ... heal?

- like to do both DPS and healing - one does not necessarily negate the other.

And did I say they do?

You are saying that there is some e-peen measuring mentality at work that leads to people expecting that they squeeze every last bit of DPS and not healing people.

When an AOE coming up, the party is not full, and you still see Broil/Glare/Melafic going off. Or when you have to burn through your kits healing succession mechanics without any help ... I would like to hear a different explanation if you have one.

i haven't seen anyone asking for healing to "squeeze every last bit of DPS"

And ... that's exactly the problem? Indeed nobody is asking the healers to do that, the content definitely doesn't need the healers to do that. What, you think when tank/DPS or even healing, I prefer the healer to DPS as much as possible over keeping the group alive? In case you missed the point, the healer is doing for the shake of their parse over the group's well being, that's the point.
